About Codename Hirondelle (Audio)

The Lake District, 1957. DS Ruth Rambler, recently promoted to CID, has her first murder case. The body of a well-dressed young man has been found, shoeless, in a cave. Who was he, and how did he get there? Her investigations take her all over the National Park—and to the coast, where the nuclear research facility at Windscale is still expanding. Could the man in the cave have something to do with the elusive head of security? What secrets are hidden in the smoke that begins to billow from one of the chimneys?
